Me: "Call me an Uber home."
Rabbit: "You're an Uber home."
😆🎅🤣
"I will call you by the name 'Uber to New York Airport'"
Amazing
Really summed up my feelings about Assistant after all these years 😂
Call me an Uber. "You're an Uber!" Google Assistant almost has the comedy shtick down! Can't wait until it gets good enough to do the "Who's on First?" routine.
Trillion dollar company.
“take me to new york”
He said Newark (New Jersey) btw…there’s no such thing as New York airport
There’s no way the big tech companies aren’t going to be able to offer everything this thing offers and more within a year or two.
Siri has sucked for so long though, so that’s why I think they are hopeful
I think this entire company exists to be bought out. And it will be in less than 5 years I pretty much guarantee it. I think the actual product is just proof of concept.
Except the they won't. Siri is still like 10 years behind. Alexa is behind. Chat GPT is a revolutionary tool that was given to us in 2023 but it can't do what Rabbit does.
They can but they choose not to. They cant sell you dumb accessories if you dont need anything else
I don't want to have to carry around another device just for the sake of this feature. I agree this will just be a catalyst for big tech to step it up.
Honestly the best use case I can think of for this actual device is as an accessibility device. For someone wheelchair-bound, blind, even dyslexic, etc, this could be a life saver.
then why not use smartphone with this capability (or app in the phone) ?
To get rid of VoiceOver or TalkBack. The whole idea is to not rely on visual UIs and do it all with natural language (if accessibility is done right).
@@jameslin7457 Because there are people, older people usually, who are not up with the tech, for whom the learning curve to use a smartphone or tablet is too high. Gadgets like Rabbit R1 are perfect for them.
@@Corteumyou must be joking
@@jameslin7457 Joking, how?
I saw it somewhere that the founder Jesse said the biggest potential of Rabbit is the ability for everyone to train it to be what they want it to be. Then Rabbit will be their 'product' instead of merely an app that they use. This is very interesting and makes it so fundamentally different from any digital assistant.
Yeh to me that’s the killer feature.
I can train it to get / do things specific to me that Apple or Google are never going to build.
Like go and get my account balance from my bank. Under Google / Apple that would be via APIs which would require my bank app to enable it…. Never going to happen.
So think the idea that Google / Apple will just do this is not as sound as some think.
Also they was kinda wrong about the funding. That was just to build a hardware device. They had been working on this for a lot longer than that.
But how are you going to train it if it says 'sorry I did not understand' half of the time and copy-paste a wikipedia page the other half of the time.
@@DJ_POOP_IT_OUT_FEAT_LIL_WiiWii Show us a demo with it FAILING THAT OFTEN, otherwise it's just a claim, when the demos DO show it working.
@@David-xt5ob Very similar to Open Interpreter as far as automating between apps... Good to have competition.
@@brianmi40 I'm not buying it to see just how bad it is. Apple claimed Siri can recognize your voice. Newsflash it doesn't, it worked one time out of three at best and in ideal condition. That's bad and make it useless in my book.
Same goes for Chat GPT. It can't provide help for any non trivial task. What it does all the time I used it was copy-paste Wikipedia article. Now for Rabbit MQ or whatever. They have shown zero insight that convince me it is any better. Same false claims Apple made.
The main reason I’ve never found use for any of the assistants is because it requires me to speak aloud. If I’m in public, I am far less likely to speak aloud into Siri/Alexa/Google/etc for anything because why would I want strangers to know my business…or even at work. I don’t want to disturb or broadcast to the entire workplace.
Exactly, beside, and that's something that quite suprised me during the vid, is that they absolutely did not talked about the realism of the device. Like an unknown companie, pitching a totally new device type ? Sounds more like a scam than anything anyway.
Same. I feel like an asshole talking to Siri even if I’m alone!
This
25 years back normal people would have scoffed at smart phones the same way. I mean how many of us would have said that looking into a screen and not paying attention to fellow humans extremely rude. But look where we are today. We talk in public into a device today and our fellow travellers overhear all that right?
@@gamernerd7139 sure I get that. But I still don’t see people using virtual assistants in public frequently enough for me to feel comfortable doing it.
15:40 I love that Google basically did a dad joke and essentially said, 'Okay, you're an Uber' 🤣🤣🤣
Someone tell Marquis he has dad mode turned on in his google assistant.
AI acceleration is being built into cell phone chipsets, as you know, so Rabbit is likely going to be integrated into them. Apple or Google may gobble Rabbit up very soon.
This is 100% an acquisition play for Google or Apple. No way this product makes it to market
@@Chris-qy3dp
IDK, cloning their features seems extremely easy.
There are already open models who can work together to do the same thing as the LAM and training one from scratch doesn't sound that hard for companies who can create that exact same data automatically at scale
This is assuming Rabbit AI is anywhere close to being so context aware that it can take in these vague prompts and actually execute what you want it to do. Highly skeptical of this feature, which tbh is the only real game changing feature of their AI if its true. If not, then its not much better than current phone assistants which companies like google, apple etc. can improve upon pretty easily if they invest a little more resources into it
My guess is that they are nowhere near having a product ready for market. So any potential acquiring company will see that and Rabbit will die.
If they can implement it into a smartwatch I can see this type of concept working.
The product is really just a catalyst for the big two to get better. Which is not a bad thing.
People in the US using a Voice based assistant as if the wall in their house wasn't made using Cardboards
@@jensenraylight8011Crazy how my cardboard house is over two hundred years old with no issues. Almost like there’s no reason to build a house in the US out of concrete.
@@asphaltannihilator157 it's not a durability issue, it's a Noise issue if people talk to their AI assistant loudly all the time
Your Cardboard wall basically just let all the noises pass through
Just imagine if your roommate, kids or wife talk to the AI assistant and the Assistant talk back, all the time
Even with brick and concrete wall, you can still hear a conversation, even if it was just a mumble.
With Cardboard wall, RIP sleep
@@jensenraylight8011 Are you under the impression Americans don’t currently talk or make noise inside of buildings? Why are you projecting a concern none of us have?
@@jensenraylight8011lol what? You think this device will suddenly cause a huge surge in noise pollution? I mean it’s not like people have watched tv or listened to music (often at much higher volumes than speaking) in their homes in the US for literally decades
I see HUGE potential in the accessibility market.
Everytime a sketchy startup launches a product no one needs, people say "'it aktchually would be great for the disabled or elderly people". And then, it flops.
And in the market of people who are not really phone-dependent, but just keep it to be able to get stuff done on the go
I pre-ordered one, one of the 5th batch. Yes, I agree I'm paying $200 for an app. But if it can deliver just 70% of what the keynote promised, it'd be one of my main apps if not the app I use the most to interact with the other main apps. Netflix costs more every year. And why shouldn't it come with a beautifully designed physical UI?
i know an african prince who just told me he has a fortune he wants to give you
@@RoZaxTheGreat Is he Sundar Pichai in disguise?
Meanwhile people pay thusends to use an app for a month... And the switch still exists despite being another thing people have to charge and this could honestly replace a "phone" for some people who hate touchscreens and just want an phone with an AI... Which today is like 6 phones on the marky the Pixel 8s and Galaxy S24s... Which each cost more that the price of the R1 as they are more then just a phone and AI chatterbox. So yeah perosanlly it makes me want to use Edge on my phone more to talk to Chat GPT... But I kinda do that on my pC any way just in text form... But yeah if Rabbit is litterlly a heavly modded Chat GPT I don't see why it won't work as advertised.
yeah, but, what would you actually do with it? Order pizza?
@@bahroum69 Probably not pizza, but maybe the more complicated Chinese and Korean food combos I order frequently. Besides that, I'll try use this as a remote control for RUclips, to create the same chart I make for every survey I analyze at work, to create temporary meeting invites just for checking a coworker's availability, to monitor content sites I'm interested in and summarize the updates... and any other functions devs/moders may come up with for this system. You know, there are a lot of things I do regularly across multiple devices that take too many clicks. It's too early to say which ones of these can be done well. But I feel confident some of them can. For $199, I'm willing to give it a go.
You've convinced me I *don't* need one.
I truly don't see how useful this is going to be. I don't take Ubders/Lyfts;I rarely fly; I'm a former chef so I'm quicker at figuring out what ingredients I can put together for a meal----I just don't see the need for it and yes, """one more thing to plug in and charge""", thank you for pointing that out.
12:35 you can take the stuff off your fridge, put them on a plate and ask the rabbit... the fridge is there for marketing value but you can be smart and adapt to it's limitations
Re: The R1 could just be an app.
The R1 being a device that can do "everything" a phone can do without it being able to suck people into a social media feed is its own superpower. Don't discount it.
Why isn't this an app?
Companies like apple an google won't give them full integration/data access to their phones for it to work smoothly.
It turns out that it basically is an app after all. You saw it from the start.
They are trying to have a paradigm shift away from apps to AI as the primary OS. This could be really good for attention and healthy human interaction. Def some challenges there but I see what they are going for and I’m here for it. It’s serving the purpose of a dumb phone by approaching it from the opposite direction. Point being to give you your life back.
apps are the primary OS and they'll never change it!!!!
Yes I agree I think the mvp behind the project was when they said “our smart phones were supposed to give us time back instead of taking up all our time” this would be a great product as it has all the essentials of a phone without all the addictive things such as social media or apps in general
@@jakealering5711 Agreed. Apps are literally optimized to take our attention. This could be a breath of fresh air.
Thanks for the great summary of Rabbit intention according to you which I totally agree. Hope they will succeed or influence the way we interact in near future as the current one is clearly not the way to go anymore
Well said! I think it will be the next face of phone for those who want to be done with distractive apps and unnecessary social media … think of it this way; those who need their peace of mind will opt for this… I actually can’t wait to buy one … I’m tired of having to pay for every app service 🤦🏿♂️
When the guy mentioned no social media, I think it hit on the reason I'm excited for this as a standalone physical device instead of an app. I don't actually want an AI function like this to have direct and uncompromised access to everything my phone has access to, and sometimes I don't want to use my phone (or, as with social media, I want a barrier for when my addicted brain wants to default to doom scrolling). A device that is just there to let me get stuff done, that is limited in some ways and open in others, that's perfect. The, "It just needs to be an app," thing is like, "Why would you buy a standalone screwdriver? Just put a hole for interchangeable bits on the handle end of a hammer!"
I want that hammer! 🔨
What I want is an AI assistant that talks to ME, not the other way around. I get a buzz on my phone, I tap the notification, the AI says "hey, you have an unanswered email from this company, did you want me to write something up for it? Okay, I'm sending it to you, I'll go ahead and send it after you approve it."
This device reminds me of Tamagotchi pet.
Actually, I think people are 100% wrong in their assumptions that you don’t need a separate device, and eventually your phone will be able to do this. The problem is phone manufactures have their own App Stores along with terms and conditions or other legal frameworks that have been established along with copyright restrictions. Phone companies will probably never allow for cross integration between apps through the phone. You can’t even access a lot of third-party apps through Siri because of this reason. I just think the phone companies have built themselves into a legal corner that will be really hard for them to pivot from. Although rabbit may have to worry about the third-party applications and websites coming after them.
thats no the problem. All you need to do is give an app a permission to do so. Don't kow how does it work on iOS, but on android it is fairly easy. You already got apps to do macros in other apps. With AI you just add another layer that do this for you.
@@megustaav Apple's walled garden stifles innovation
google already does third party integration. and with competition they would definitely do that more
This literally like the two-way pager back in the early 2000s. Great idea but then phone co-opted the tech and it went away. Rabbit it is a great proof of concept for exciting future of tech potential.
I wouldn't call it a proof of concept after the miracle that is chatgpt. Even the foremost experts on AI were convinced that something like chatgpt would only be possible in no less than 10 years and yet here we are.
@zedetach you do realize what "proof of concept" means right? Are you saying that rabbit and chatgpt are the same? They are the same in that they are generative a.i. acting on large language models but rabbit takes it further. It's a large ACTION model. So YES it's a proof of concept because no on else has brought this capability to forefront. You must have been on the short bus to school I see. It's a cool idea but in its current iteration it doesn't have enough legs to be a real thing. This is just so show what capabilites are out there now BEYOND chatgpt. Again...proof of concept. Class dismissed.
Buddy a proof of concept is a novel idea that is still far from being realized commercially. R1 has gone way past that stage. This is a product that is scheduled to be released this year. Class dismissed.@@thereal415er
it's going to be a paper weight in no time
@@zedetach the AI experts are right though. Chat GPT is only an illusion of intelligence. In practice it barely does more than copy paste wikipedia pages.
I see a lot of potential for this product. For the longest time, I have been wanting a device where I could take a walk, listen to my music, but not be distracted by everything else the phone has. Like one of the host were saying if he was going out to meet up with friends and he didn’t need an entire device, this would make a lot of sense also in situations like music festivals and concerts where I don’t necessarily want to be worrying about my valuables having this cheaper alternative makes a lot of sense as well.
They made these things called MP3 players for a really long time. Brilliant. Grab yourself a Diamond Rio PMP-500. Also, snag a 64-128MB SmartMedia card if you can find one!
I think if you think about what it is trying to be, it actually makes sense.
If you have a human personal assistant, that is with you most of the time, your communication is mostly outloud. When that person is first hired, they will take some time to learn how you like to travel, what restaurants you like, where you shop, etc. At first they will ask a lot of clarifying questions that will diminish over time. After they learn, simple commands result in the desired outcome.
You tell the assistant what you want and they take care of most tasks, and while you still have a phone, it is mainly for personal communication and entertainment.
The issue with this, and other new technology, is that it is meant to do what a person does, but people expect it to work better, cheaper, and more seamless than someone hired to do the job.
15:32 - The interaction with Google Assistant....perfect.
Hey new subscriber and long-time listener. It's great to hear you all reviewing this product and going over possible pros and cons. I look forward to more content from the group.
Why couldn't Rabbit be fitted into a watch design? It connects to the phone and to the internet, so it does not do all the processing.
delay via cloud and the warehouses needed to process and store all that info
Agree, this as a watch would be sick
I need it in a tamagotchi
Actually, because I have no idea where on my home screen most apps are (except for the most commonly used ones), calling an Uber on my iPhone is: open phone, gesture down to bring up search, type 'ub', select Uber app...
Not saying it's complicated, but I think the rabbit guy has a bit of a point, in that AI could make that easier. Of course, I'm sure Google and Apple are working on this too, so I don't know what the longevity of this company is going to be.
Edit: Of course, I can already open the Uber app (or any other app) with Siri. I usually don't because I don't necessarily want to bother other people by broadcasting out loud what I'm doing. That's a problem in general with speech recognition AI. It's bad enough people are walking around with their head down staring at a little screen, we have to listen to them too, now?
You could ask google assistant to order an uber. Then all you have to do is click a button to confirm it. Google assistant has nearly all the stuff it advertises, or the ability to do it very quickly
Rabbit R1 makes alot of sense for people that consider money as no issue, and don't want the hassle of clicking on apps to order taxis, book holidays or ordering food and maybe do your taxes for you too. It automates heck out of alot of tasks, so you can focus on other things in life, like enjoying it.
Maybe they’re just trying to get their foot-in-the-door with hardware and will switch to a cheaper app later on?
You guys discussed that the r1 should offer a store where people can upload their best trainings to get it to take cool actions for them. I believe that rabbit will make that available to others by default so that their LAM gets very powerful very quickly. What is smarter than having users train your model?
I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned this: Imagine if the R1 could serve as a virtual proxy on social platforms like Facebook and Instagram. This could revolutionize the way we interact with ads and updates. This is exactly what their user interface training promises. The R1, with its user-trained interface capabilities, could filter through ads, letting our virtual presence engage with them. If I only want to know when a particular set of friends post, I don't have to scroll pass sponsored content. Meanwhile, it could summarize important updates from friends, triggering only the notifications we care about. This concept not only challenges traditional social media ad models but also enhances our digital experience by focusing on what truly matters to us.This is why Google Assistant and Siri may not be ready to offer this full functionality. It is a can of worms, actually. I ordered mine exactly because if this one feature. I'm an old guy and don't do much instagram, but I still look at Facebook.
Great point!
I suppose we utilize the training feature to filter our news feed. But how exactly do you plan on consuming it? We can assume you wont go back to your phone to do so. Are you using rabbits small screen to see the post? Or listening to written posts/tweets in a text-to-speech sort of way through the rabbit device? What if tthe post has a picture or video?
You bring up what seems like a very specific situation that i can respect however id like to hear your rebuttal i do want to understand your pov
@ItsTheMajorScalebro I don't have the R1 yet, but I have thought about how to filter the news feed before, and making the R1 able to operate as a virtual person makes everything possible. I'd be fine with asking R1 about friends and it tells me anything in the newsfeed that I'm interested in, and NOT bother telling me about sponsored content or other updates I don't care about. The reason Apple, Amazon and Google assistants wouldn't do this if they didn't have to is that they are upsetting the Advertising revenue. That's why I think this sort of product would NOT come from any of the existing major players. It had to be Rabbit.
What about an Enterprise version for industry?
Consider if schools had enterprise models as teacher’s assistants:
“Check attendance” teacher to Rabbit assistant
“All accounted for, Ted & Cruz have traded seats, Ted is now next to Tina.” Rabbit to teacher
“Ted, Cruz, move back to your assigned seats please.” Teacher to class
I could see the PRC using an enterprise version of this thing in Red.
"Comrade, what does Xi Thought say about eating ice cream?"
"Xi Thought says eating Ice Cream is a frivolity of the West that should be avoided."
Awesome finally we have real world Jarvis now
If it feels to good to be true, it probably is.
A lot of this I believe depends on a) solving input information and b) people using calendars effectively…
No matter how good AI gets it will never be able to read your mind. If I was a personal assistant and my boss told me to call an uber I would still double check to make sure I was thinking the same place as them.
Never? Why so confident? Have you see how far time stretches into the future? Infinity! We've gone from Alex Kidd in Miracle World to VR pron in 35 years. It's an exponential curve.
You can already tell the Google Assistant to "book an Uber to my office" and it instantly loads the app ready for you on the confirm button. It's lightning fast, too. "Call me an Uber" is a ball drop on Google's part, though.
This is going to be baked into phones 100% - Rabbit option one, It gets bought and baked into a phone - Option 2, It dies and goes away - Noone wants another devise
Option3 - next product is a cheap home device. People still buy Google Home and Echo speakers and smart clocks
For $200 this is a horrible phone replacement/alternative for average users, but could be life changing in the disability healthcare sector - ESPECIALLY with the individualized training potential.
If Rabbit or the company that buys them focuses on that, and on building a seamless and robust ecosystem of healthcare devices - that’s where this becomes revolutionary
watching this after the review. they were so hopeful lol
Yeah it’s so funny to see how hyped they were
This would be good for young children because it has no games.
I kinda dig the design. And the fact that they went with the Helio P35 and not some cheap manufacturers, inspires confidence in me. I have used Mediatek devices and I like them.
Maybe their intention is to showcase the technology in their physical form factor with the end game to be bought out by Google or Apple who then would integrate within their OS or a separate app.
The fact that you are going to train the rabbit AI to perform better improved customized actions is a plus for me. This even reduces the burden of devs to teach their ai more customised improved actions
Puts the burden of UAT on the actual user and not on QAE's.
It might just be me, but I could listen to David explain these types of "under the hood" processes weekly.
I think they made it look like the phone from the movie “Her” on purpose. Don’t know if anyone else has noticed. The movie is about human like Ai.
My cell is a full size desktop the size of a screen. It's mostly an app storage device. Apps that connect to internet connected things. The r1 might be a utility that is voice programmable, not with keyword or search phrases, but just normal speech. It's a voice remote for the tv, lights. The phone will have every app open through the AI, at will. Refrigerators have AI now. We won't have to remember to click on an app or make a quick reminder while doing something else. Eventually, our phones might be like desktops, but not go away. I think I still have my brick phone.
I think after the initial setup. It might be good. Also, could you use this as a Bluetooth device to your phone instead of getting a plan on a carrier?
Rabbit is actually the ultimate company. Because any feature the competition releases automatically becomes their feature also.
I had no idea they were SUCH a new company! That is pretty incredible. I like the idea, I still feel like it has to be a phone replacement. Interacting with apps isn't difficult enough. Even my tech averse friends know how to order an uber from their phone. I feel like nobody is going to want to have ANOTHER device, plus as noted other AI models will get this functionality via the google assistant etc.
Rabbit Inc. was formed in September 2020, so it's 3+ years old. It just got it first round of funding (Series A) in Oct 2023. Doesn't mean it's a new company
I would consider this for the aging population. It could be trained for health monitoring or other tasks
Hot tip: no one buys the hardware and they pivot to making an App. 👍
Remember the adverts for Google Glasses before they came out versus what was delivered?
I have a feeling that they're hoping to get ahead of the curve just slightly, to then be bought at some point by Apple or Samsung or someone wanting to implement this functionality. Tried and tested.
8:05 that is a thought that my friends and I immediately had: when starting a business you want to choose a market that is not so small that it can esasily be engulfed by larger companies.
I think the lack of shopping around feature can do a couple of things: people will get used to trusting the device out of convenience**. And it will force service providers to provide better and more reliable services at competitive prices because the AI simply won’t book service providers who have a bad track record. The efficiency of the AI will enable it to filter out the worst and select the best service providers.
**When UberEats started I was skeptical because I didn’t think people would be willing to pay a 30+% premium for their food(delivery fees&tip). Why not just order straight from the restaurant? But no Uber has caught on and people don’t mind paying those extra fees in preference for convenience.
This could be an app and not have to purchase TWO devices that people will toss in a year! More E Waste for NO REASON at all!
As someone who is currently shopping for a dumb phone because I'm so sick of being sucked into my smartphone, I definitely see value in something that can provide a lot of the utility of a smartphone without the distracting elements of a smartphone and the clutter of 100 apps
Frankly, I think the biggest impact we will really see from this is that google assistant and Siri and similar AI “assistants” will have huge improvements over the next two years
The guy that presented it says it was meant to take less time than a phone. In our phones we have to tap to get a response, this piece of technology can understand humans talking indirectly and complete a task correctly. It honestly is a cool piece of tech and isn’t supposed to replace your phones.
I still don't trust any software or AI that does something for me, such as ordering or getting a ride or making a reservation. I want to physically see and make sure everything is correct.
This is the number one issue that i saw immediately. "Get me i home" turns a $25 uber ride into a $100 Uber Black SUV trip without telling you. There is a reason for the additional inputs and most tech companies are trying they're hardest to get you through the process as quickly and HAPPILY as possible.
@@GoFidoGo plus if this took off I could totally see companies making it so if you aren't specific with what you say it WILL give you the most expensive option without telling you of the other options!

Made with HARPA AI
What is Harpa AI?
@@prithviraj1080 it is a chrome browser plugin that summarizes web pages for you. Very helpful!
What is Google
Amazon Alexa does a lot of this already. Also, I’m not sure how many people are going to be comfortable using voice as the only means of communication with this device
Huge market potential for this. Imagine in places you don't want to take your phone, e.g. music festivals, exercising/gym, day parties, beach trips/nature experiences. Yet still want to have some connectivity and ability to access the use of your daily apps. As long as it has a great build, waterproof, this has great potential.
Real hands-free car commodity!
One thing that they are missing is that it seems that this device is mainly INPUT. on the phone, you browse, you get info in so many different ways, video etc.
Henry ford said if he asked what people wanted, they would have just said faster horses.
I think this device represents a movement of people who don’t wanna be tethered to their phone or download another app.
Rabbit1: You, Madam, are an Uber.
The biggest convenience of the device seems to have AI to make decisions for you, on the opposite side, it also takes the flexibility of customization away from the users. It also seems that users need to have firm opinions regarding what they want, what if they don't exactly know what they can do and just browsing. It doesn't seem to provide space for brainstorming and forming ideas, which the current app-based paradigm offers.
Smartphone are on their peak of developing many of the unexceptional features which we can't even imagine few years back.
So in my opinion its really hard to replace a smartphone which already have every kind of AI ever developed.
The thing with the rabbit r1 is that it isn't make something new or different from a normal smartphone , the only thing it does is minimising the efforts made by us.
But nothings to underestimate AI is AI it has replaced humans then smartphones doesn't make any difference.
No one knows whats coming next and running inside the mind of Mr Jesse Lyu.
Based upon the Star Trek mythology of tech devices, we will have three machines: the communicator, the tricorder, and the phaser. We already have the communicator (cell phone). Rabbit is the first incarnation of the tricorder, something that scans your environment. You can assume more analytical environment tools will be added, like temperature, ph levels, humidity, and so forth. The phaser will be coming soon.
It's the next level of the PDA - Personal Digital Assist.
This product looks really close to the one's used in the movie 'Her'.
UI gives you the hints you need to perform the perfect prompt. Without this, you have to be aware of all the options to make sure you won’t have to refine tour prompt.
"Call me a cab!"
"Okay sir, you're a cab!"
From what ive heard about it, it sounds like once the r2/r3 comes around they could very well be on their way to being the next apple, this is more just a prototype they’re selling to test the market
This device can be helpful for individuals who are blind or have specific needs. Imagine how much it can assist someone in guiding them or aiding someone who isn't fluent in the English language. It has the potential to make a difference for those facing challenges that the average person doesn't encounter.
The clip turned into the whole podcast . The clip turned into the whole podcast .
As a front-end engineer, I personally do believe there is a huge problem in the tech industry. Every time we release a new UI `upgrade` we always receive a huge amount of feedback with "I loved the app, but I really wish you hadn't changed it" which is the same reaction with me when my daily use app gets `upgraded`. But hey, in my company, at least one thousand designers engineers pms, and managers pay their bills from UI/UX upgrades. We do need to work harder and make the UI complex enough so that rabbit can't learn how to use it...
Great talk, when I saw the key note, I immediately Said that's garbage but after watching this video, I decided to pre order. What resonated was the comment about the price at $200. The right price point to be an early adoptor.
Brave putting ur trust in the word of the company
The potential on this is insane, like for starters they right about the fridge thing but you could also take put what you have or want to use, put it in the table and ask it what can i make with this, i just see so many possibilities to ask it anything i would ask someone else that knows something i dont
I kinda like that it feels like a smartphone but has the aesthetic of a dumbphone so i wont sit there and scroll on it for 2+ hours
I bought one. It's already backed up to the sixth batch. It supposed to arrive in June. You might all be right about this baked into your phone. But you only live once and i like to be on top of it during the years that i am alive.
basically what I hear is that being "first to market" doesn't really matter if it can be easily replicated. Moving with speed only matters if your'e building something sufficiently complicated that cannot be ripped off by bigger corps.
What we really need is a device like this but smaller...thinner, that has the capability to interface with the user (not the other way around) in such a way that passwords are NEVER needed. We need something that requires ZERO touch input (as R1 doesn't) but can access my e-mails, banking, and any other accounts in real-time with sub-second response times. If I ask it to connect to my account with a brand new service that just launched and a perform a series of specific tasks, then it can do so in less than a second. (In the background, it will have just familiarized itself with the API documentation and written a custom API integration, giving it the ability to connect to and interface with my account in real time.) Finally, making use of the HD screen, we need a device that can create bespoke, optimized, situational UI’s on-the-fly in real-time, giving the user the ability to interface with the desired task or series of tasks on his own terms.
Tim & Eric got together with Cinco back in the day and already made this. It was called the Mancierge.
I like where the R1 one is going, my biggest gripe is that it mentions it's NOT meant to replace my phone, I would love to get to a place where a device like this DOES replace my phone. so much simpler to use, and 10X less distracting
You might be onto something. I think I want this to replace my phone.
My fearless forecast is there's going to be like a little rabbit doll keychain one day--you put your keys on it, or maybe even use it as a phone charm, but that's the assistant. AND THEN, Chobits.
Anybody else here a Skyrim modder? The Rabbit reminds me of the AI mods where the player can interact from STT >> to Chat GPT >> TTS >> then trigger an in game action like a voice response or an actual NPC action is played out. The Rabbit LAM concept is what this reminds me of. In short, I pre ordered one hoping it can or eventually automate stuff like YnAB budgeting or banking. Or train it to interact with Alexa app to take actions (something Siri can’t do).
Did they get those mods working in Skyrim? I was excited to see a video of a prototype several months ago but it was not ready for prime time yet. Is it time for another playthrough? I agree with your analysis and like you say, the output from the AI could include voice responses as well as multiple actions in the form of automated app interactions. BTW I pre-ordered one too, but honestly having trouble imagining what to do with it. I live in suburbia where we drive our own cars and I will never need to quickly plan a trip to Japan.
@@jonkbox2009 yes, the Skyrim mod seen for AI NPCs was working late last year and I tried one of follower mods which worked amazing. I was even able to set a personality and had the NPC like k-pop and k-dramas and that she had a unrequited love for my main character, lol! My PC broke and haven’t played in months but I think I might itch Skyrim Modding again. As for Rabbit, I just signed up for their deal with a year subscription to perplexity and the experience is much better than Bing AI. The co-pilot function makes it more intuitive than chat-gpt4 alone. If this is the driver for rabbit then I think it’s heading in the right direction. I’d be very curious how their LAM model works in real life. I’d hope it can be trained to interact with other smart apps like Alexa. But even if not, a Pokédex looking device is just plain cool even if it’s just for chat AI use with perplexity. I’m now thinking if it can actually be trained on my Pokemon go account for voice commands. The possibilities seems to be endless if the LAM model actually works.
Honestly I’d seriously using this as a phone replacement. Very simple. Maybe once it has messaging and phone calls it would be more appealing. Just an even smaller phone that’s affordable and ai centric.
IDK, it's 3 fold for me.
1. I want this more than my phone.
2. Having been a videographer through multiple phases of technology, from tape to digital, and having used various cellphones and had multiple devices for different jobs--having a dedicated device for dedicated needs. The more my cellphone can do, the less I use it because I have all these other things on the phone to distract me with. Except this is the dedicated app for everything. See point 1, it's a better cellphone.
3. I am pretty sure this product is going to be historical, even if it's infamous. I'll bet I can resell it in the first 6 months for my money back, or in 16 years. It's worth the risk, and I have a feeling it's an investment.
they said if the app changes, the AI can still adapt on its own, once trained. It knows how to find the new location for that option
sounds like something smart assistants could do with a big update.
I believe this is a step towards just having a black box on you, with a SIM card, and all other wearables (smart sunglasses/glasses, ear pods, etc.) Bluetooth connect. I can see us not needing the phone screen (using glasses for AR and display) if the AI is good. And then further in time having a brain implant work with the black box, replacing the glasses and ear pods.
Yeah, but you always need the screen. A picture is worth a thousand words. Seems like this device neglects the screen
@@andy2641 In 5 years no device will have a screen.
My thoughts is that the idea of the device is great, love it. I think the biggest problem is this is another device. Like it was to be dependable enough that you would take it instead of a phone. I'm thinking of my elderly father who doesn't have a smart phone but can use a google home well enough.
The problem for what you pointed out is that, yeah, uber might fix their app but these companies hate the idea of that because while you're looking at the screen they can introduce more things to you. Like going into a McDonalds now and the self serve kiosk pops up dumb adds making your experience slower. They're never naturally going to want to make your experience voice only.
It comes in more colors than orange.
Yes, it is available in Navy, Ochre, Grey, Orange, Matte Black, and Red.
Okay Peta333, thatʻs dope, this video says that it only comes in Orange, where did you get that information?@@peta333
People are missing that the primary audience is not first world countries and banked people. Unlocked device, open ai, etc
They missed the fact that it asked him to confirm every time he was making a purchase through the R1 on the keynote demo.
Very helpful, might have bought this thing , until I saw this. I don't need it, I know that now! I've also learned what it cannot do , which the big sell glossed over. You are right, Big Tech will buy them out and you will be left with a cool orange ornament for your mantlepiece. A bit expensive for that!
PS. I like the presenter and the contributors, low key, soft spoken , to the point , unabrasive. That's refreshing.
